Nice flavor with the sauce and the blue cheese., The ravioli was good but absolutely needed salt and pepper. All-in-All, 3.8 so we round up to 4.

I'd come back, the dance floor is a little small but workable lol. The band was pretty good I love instruments the men played well.

My sister and I came to The Hideaway for Depeche Mode night, and it was such a great experience!…read moreThe venue was easy to find, and everyone we encountered was so welcoming and kind. Entry was a breeze--just $20 combined--and accessing the main room was straightforward. I've been coming to this bar for years, though it's been a while since my last visit, and I have to say, I absolutely love the vibe now! The changes they've made--turning it into an '80s-themed space--are fantastic. We had an amazing time, and the atmosphere was just right. The only downside is that it does get pretty hot in there; better AC would make it even better. Still, I'll definitely be returning for more night adventures! One more thing I did not get a chance to try their drinks since I don't drink alcohol but will definitely ask if they make mocktails.

Allyson and Steffan, the General Manager, were both so welcoming. This review is based on our drinks -- we ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and an Orange Blossom Martini, and both were very good. There was also a pianist performing, which added a nice touch, though it was a bit hard to hear and hold a conversation due to the holiday rush. Overall, we loved the ambiance and would definitely return. Just keep in mind that seating is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lots of space for chilling. Don't be turned away by the entrance, which communicates a small, niche space. 3. If you're expecting a small niche space based on the front entrance, get ready to be surprised by the spaciousness. Trivia: Several breweries claim the spot of first "craft" or "microbrewery." What two breweries, one of which is closed down, start with the letter A claim the title?

Nice bar. Really like the chill and relaxed atmosphere.
